It's a trick question. Since both answers are about *metiarlistic* and *good looks* stuff, not one deals with the person himself. These are stuff that help you get stuff. Money helps you get all, and looks help you to be accepted more easily in society. They don't speak about the nature of man, feelings and such. Like, what would you prefer, being <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline">happy</span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and poor or rich and <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>miserable</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END-->. <br><br>I really don't know what I'd prefer in this case. I wouldn't worry about the money, cause as long as I'm a happy person, I don't care that much how much I posses. But about looks... well, I wouldn't want to look like a dead frog... hmm.<br><br> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.navynuke.net/ezboard/vilsig.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>"A) A nice 'what D&D character are you' test in the bottom of this page: http://irulethe.net/~neppyman/dndwho<br><br>B) Ivanova: "You're a vicious man." <br>Garibaldi: "I'm Head of Security.

If I had to answer this question for a future partner, I'd say she would be good looking and poor. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>There are sunsets over other oceans my friend.

Yeah, I don't think I could ever really marry an ugly person, no matter how loaded they are. If I'm not attracted to them, I won't be happy. That's why I'd rather be attractive and poor, because at least I can feel good about who I am in that aspect. Having lots of money is usually a compensation for not being good enough without it. I'd definitely choose looks over money.<br><br>And Vil, what you say is true, but what you answer is a deep insight into what kind of person you are if you look at it correctly.

But I stayed with him and we hit it off totally, he made me laugh and smile all the time and we did loads of things together and then one day I found myself falling in love with him, not his looks at all but him himself.

Speaking from a male point of view (well, mine anyway...) I look at looks first. I know that's not everything, but I don't want to wake up next to someone in the future and not be able to stand their looks. Maybe I'm shallow, I don't know. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>There are sunsets over other oceans my friend.

Well, I can't argue that looks can either draw attract or repel someone initially. After all, it is the first impression that you get from a person. But eventually, that becomes much less important than personality.<br><br>As far as not being happy with someone's looks, even after getting to know them, I would have to agree with Vamp. I believe that when you are truly in love with a person, you get a positive feeling from seeing that person that has nothing to do with the way he/she looks. You love to be with them and look at them because of the way they make you feel inside. Call me a hopeless romantic, but that's just the way I think. <p></p><i></i>

It works the same way. You look at a screenshot and say "Oh, that looks pretty."

Even their little imperfections just make you love them even more.<br><br>There is a country song that I have heard on the radio by Brad Paisley, in which he tells about his wife. In the first verse, he remembers the first time he heard her say a dirty word and how embarrassed she was. It was after she backed into something in his truck. He says that he couldn't even pretend to be mad because she "looked just so darn cute." The chorus wraps up with the line "I live for little moments like that." <p></p><i></i>

Man, this whole two-thread-same-topic thing's weird, I have to re-hash everything I just wrote. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Like I said previously, looks factor in a lot in relationships, in the beginning at the very least. Like you said, Vamp, when you first met your boy-toy, you categorized him as non-dating material. However, after you spent some time together, his points rose dramatically and now you're all cutesy luvvy-duvvy and such. So, by your own admittance, looks factored into the equation in your case. You didn't like him at first based on looks, but once you got to the creamy filling of his personality, you started to like him more, even liking the looks.<br><br>Either way, back to the original topic, statistics show that physically attractive people are on average happier in their lives than people who are unattractive. So, I still stand by my answer. I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love...but if looks could kill, well... <p>-----------------------<br>CrisS<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sighost.us/members/thelongwa ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>Well I moved back to Austin to try to make a living<br>But it ain't been so easy with those hill country women<br>And i'm stuck inside of this 8x12 room<br>And my throat's a scratchin' from the cigarettes and booze...<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.howtobeahero.com/images/type ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.howtobeahero.com">Be a Hero.</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

I think that sums it up Anathoth, that was really nice. The more you get to know someone the more attractive they are to you, so what I was saying is don't turn a women or man down just because you don't like there looks first off, instead getto know the person they are, then you will find out what you could have missed. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.eternal-anubis.com/Images/broomunicorn.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>"I'm an angel, honest!

Yes, we've seen pictures of Vamp and we know she could be considered physically attractive to most (don't mean to put you on the spot here, Vamp, so I do apologise, but you seem to have inadvertently become the centre of this issue so I may as well go with it <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ), but what I mean by that was that Angelus, and Vamp too for that matter, is lucky enough to have found someone he cares for both on a physical and emotional level and can look forward to going to sleep every night and waking up every morning knowing he can count on that person being there for him, so I would imagine that having that is much more important to him than anything someone on a message forum, or even real life, could say about him. I know that would be true in my case, and hopefully it is in his case as well. That level of connection would be much more important to me and I would hold it in much higher regard than anything else. I'd wager that's what most people who venture into the relationship scene are seeking, and so to find it in the end is praiseworthy indeed.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I myself am just starting a relationship with a girl, and the more I get to know her, the more attractive she is to me, physically and emotionally.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Best of luck with that, anathoth, and you'll have to let us know how that goes! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>~Wolfgang <p></p><i></i>
